Box 8L Proposed management objectives for the IUCN Category V sites
To maintain the harmonious
interaction of nature and culture through the protection of landscape/seascape quality and the continuation of traditional landuses,
building practices and social and cultural manifestations.
To support lifestyles and economic activities which are in harmony with
nature and the preservation of the social and cultural fabric of the communities.
To eliminate where necessary, and thereafter prevent,
landuses and activities which are inappropriate in scale and/or in character.
To provide opportunities for public enjoyment through recreation and
tourism appropriate in type and scale to the essential qualities of the areas.
To encourage scientific and educational
activities which will contribute to the long-term well-being of resident populations and to the development of public support for the environmental
protection of the survival of species (incorporating, as appropriate, breeding areas, wetlands, estuaries, grasslands,
forests, spawning and feeding grounds of marine ecosystems).
To identify areas where nationally or locally
important flora, as well as resident or migratory fauna, are in need of improved habitat protection.
Conservation of these
habitats and species should depend upon active intervention by the management authority and, if necessary, through habitat
manipulation.
The size of the area should depend on the habitat to be protected and may range from relatively small to very extensive.
